Hi there. Lemme give you some background and see if anyone can give me some ideas on what's going wrong. I've got a Version 2 Apple Airport Base Station setup, connected via the Ethernet port to a 10/100 Baystack 450 Ethernet Switch (spanning tree shut off). Connecting to this Station via Rev. C Airport cards I have 6 G4s, a Cube, and an iBook. I have the base station set up with a static IP, and have it doing routing (DHCP and NAT services shut off). My problem is this... the base station will be cooking along just fine, routing Appletalk and IP connections when, inexplicably, the activity lights for Airport and Ethernet will both just cease operation, and all network activity handled by the base station ceases. The center status light stays constantly glowing(indicating that it should be operating just peachy), but the station is just dead. You can't even connect to it with the administration software or select it as an access point in the Airport software. This problem, however, is easily fixed by unplugging the basestation and letting it start back up. Then it works just fine, until it decides to stop working again. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the failures. Since this basestation is used in a classroom lab environment, having to "reboot" the basestation frequently isn't really a good solution. Any ideas what could be wrong? Maybe I just got a lemon and need to return it?
Thanks in advance for any answers/suggestions. =) -- Peter Johnson - < [EMAIL PROTECTED] > ------------------------------------ "It's not the "nice" guy who brings about real social change.
